"WAVE" No.15
January 2008


Editorial

Dear friends,

new year has just started and it usually brings to us new plans, new ideas, new projects, new love... We are still in holiday's atmosphere but this is a period when all the schedules for the forthcoming months should be prepared, all the budgets (home and business one) should be planned, and everything should go just perfect because we all believe that the beginning will predict how the whole year will look like, right? Every time you take a look at calendar, you realize there is no coming back. Well, this time number 2008 is here and will stay for next twelve months, so get used to that...

We told you last month about some changes and new section in our web magazine and it seems you liked because number of visits on our page is rapidly increasing since we launched last issue. Also we received letters of support and advices to keep doing like this. Thank you all for that and I can only announce we will work on ours and yours WAVE every month to bring you something new and better. For those who like to be precise: we are preparing new language editions and very soon you will be able to read on some of your mother tongues, maybe...

Topic of the issue in January is European Union and everything that's going on with it: Lisbon meeting in December brought us new reform treaty instead of rejected Constitutional Law. Very important for young people was also EU-Africa Youth Summit held on the same place and EU enlargement is actual again. Misunderstandings between Moldova and Romania continue and UN conference on climate changes was held on the island of Bali. International human rights day was celebrated on December 10 and Serbian Green Youth organization was very active, like always at the end of year. If you prefer culture you can read a story about the capital of Germany - Berlin, and if you are more in Science there is an article on history of calendar. Of course, we are still in holidays everywhere, so we bring you German story about habits and the way of Christmas celebration there.


Enjoy your reading!
